Researched Angie's list then contacted two highly rated Angie's List Realtors. First realtor stated his ?research? failed to provide enough comps to justify working in unfamiliar Parker County. Tracey called in no time with very definite ideas as to property?s worth! Tracey openly welcomed challenge of my extremely detail-oriented, in-control personality. Tracey was not daunted when told my parents had moved to assisted living months earlier - leaving a relatively empty house - or that our very full schedule left limited time to prep house for sale.
Our initial meeting was AMAZING! Tracey stepped out with a beautiful smile and immediately began highlighting property pluses. Tracey definitely supports idea a home's "good bones" far outweigh its imperfections. Tracey saw possibilities we?d never imagined ? how the storage building would make a great horse barn or work shop; how acreage would accommodate play area, pool, garden room; how much fun children could have exploring the woods; how a terraced garden could easily be accomplished, etc. Tracey discussed those imperfections candidly - advising us of pros and cons then listing our options at length. Tracey listened attentively and never rushed us although it was a Saturday.
Tracey agreed to meet my elderly parents before we signed any contract! Tracey welcomed chance to ensure my parents agreed with our choice in realtors! After understanding my parent's physical limitations, Tracey suggested we use limited power-of-attorney to assure my elderly parents could "sit out" the process by assigning responsibility to us. Tracey contacted Diana Pyndus, Escrow Officer, Old Republic Title, and together legal documents were drawn up, signed and notarized in short order! This seemingly simple recommendation defines Tracey's efforts to care for her clients beyond the expected!
Tracey later sat in our home with my husband and me as we reviewed each clause on every page of contract. There were times I asked very detailed questions, covering many "what-if" scenarios, and asked for numerous clarifications. Tracey?s professionalism and expertise, aptly combined with her patience and great customer skills, assured I clearly understood what I was signing. Although time-consuming, Tracey welcomed process and stated how much she enjoyed working with fully informed clients.
Tracey patiently provided advice as we completed property cleanup, prepared property for pictures, and navigated each offer. Tracey did not mince words but recommended solutions as we worked through countless questions and predictable highs and
lows of arduous process. Tracey slowed down enough in time critical situations to soothe frayed nerves, explain pros
and cons, and assure we made fully informed decisions without strong-arm tactics or triteness. Tracey was the rock in her belief we?d reach our goal! Tracey understood our hectic, unpredictable schedules and continually reminded we?d get a sale ?when the time is right?.
Tracey genuinely cared for us and showed great compassion. I once frantically called, extremely distressed after broker?s buyers contacted me directly, while I was in midst of very critical family health issue. Tracey kindly worked to calm me, and then asked me to ?leave everything up to her?. That evening, Tracey called to ask if there was anything she could do, as a friend would ? without ever discussing business!
Tracey is a great negotiator! She soothed our extreme frustration when same broker repeatedly reworded previously refused terms as if he?d get a contract solely by ?wearing us down?. His buyers twice ?moved on? for a time. Each time they dropped out, Tracey steadfastly assured us we would sell our house ?when the time is right?. Her great confidence enhanced our ability to remain positive throughout experience!
Tracey had to persuade us, due to our extreme reluctance to deal with that broker/buyers again, to ?at least hear out? their third offer. Amazingly, and solely due to Tracey?s talent, perseverance and hard work, we sold my parent's home on their third offer ? which wisely included none of those clauses Tracey had repeatedly advised broker against. Most noteworthy, "when the time was right", the selling price was only $500 less than our first counter offer from which they?d walked away!
Once my parent?s home sale was quite satisfactorily completed, Tracey did not ?disappear? from our life. She has been very willing to discuss our many questions concerning our home ? update or sell, current market or wait? Tracey Pritchard is absolutely
going to be our realtor in any future transactions! I?ll recommend her to friends and colleagues with complete confidence they'll applaud my recommendation once her client. More importantly, Tracey will be counted as a life-long friend.
Tracey Pritchard is a true blessing and an extraordinary businesswoman! Our investment in Angie?s List provided us the rich privilege of wisely choosing Tracey and the immensely rewarding pleasure of working with her.
